Heaven knows why he chose me, but I have been asked by its proprietor to direct some PooterGeek Google karma in the direction of this “queer shirts’n'gifts” site: LGBTees.com, a shop that proves there’s more to LGBT apparel than rainbows.
Apropos of nothing, I invite you to marvel at one of my niece Maisie’s Christmas presents for me. In the face of opposition from her parents she insisted that I would love these coffee mugs:

Er, Geek, darling, are you aware of what “chick” means in the context of LBGT discourse? I hadn’t thought you wanted even ironically to be thought of as a magnet for under age……boys
I am now. I better change that before one of my customers sees it. Perhaps I should rephrase the sentence I’ve just typed as well…
That is ok if you consider that anyone sane has at least one punishment mug, something really horrible for the coffee of those who have annoyed them. Me and the missus used to have a great Charlies/Diana wedding mug that did stirling service in this respect.
PS There nothing wrong with being gay, be proud!
PPS Liking UNIX though, that I would keep to yourself!
Well, I would if I were, but I’m not. However, if underage boys (or indeed girls) had a pathological interest in me or vice versa I wouldn’t be buying a T-shirt advertising the fact. Not with a credit card anyway.
Oooh! SUSPICIOUSLY quick with the refutation there! Fortunately as a REAL MAN I am in a position to advise on quelling these vicious rumours. You need to give your site a good butch makeover. Change that pale violet surround to a real he-man’s bright orange. That picture of the younger you needs to be much more masculine – why not dive into Paintshop Pro and add a great big moustache and a fireman’s helmet?
I’m not sure about your other Website design recommendations, but your use of the phrase “fireman’s helmet” will probably double my hits for tomorrow.
I’m no owner of a pair of gay trousers, but I admire Maisie’s taste myself.
I think your parents were right. Those are the most dreadful pair of cups I’ve seen in a long time. I think you should save them for clumsy visitors. That way, when someone breaks them, instead of them saying “I am sorry” your can say “Thank you very much”.
Anyway, it is the thought that counts, so even though the cups are ugly, the present is nice.
